I really hope they have a better editor this time around. Zack Snyder would be fine if he was surrounded by competent writers and editors. Chris Terio wrote this, so everything's fine on that front. We just need to know who's the editor.
edit: well shit. David Brenner is still the editor. He edited 300, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, all of which had editing (and by extension, pacing) issues.
Fuck.

I suspect Snyder will continue his streak as best director of CBMs.
Gambit is doomed to be a 90s character for all of eternity. His fate is sealed
Same editor. You're out of luck buddy.

It seems rushed. Like after BvS they jumped right into it, so Im not expecting nothing better then what we already got in BvS. I liked MoS and 300, and Watchmen somewhat, so theres still hope.
The S stands for hope guys!

Well I mean, dude is pretty fucking badass, yeah.
I dont see how they can have a shark summon in a somewhat serious movie about superheroes, but Injustice 2's super looks awesome and Zack Snyder loves awesome so we might get something like this.

Must be Synder's friend, cause after BvS I wouldve gotten someone else to edit
Some people thought Ant-Man is corny and they still somehow pulled it off but Aquaman is a hard task...
He's pretty low on my "looks like a cool hero with cool powers" list although DC seems to make him a cool as posible judging from the snippets i have seen.
Could be a big suprise but i'm still skeptical. After all, i'm a sucker for flicks like this so bring it Lord Snyder !

The last hurdle Aquaman has to take is not holding his fucking breath underwater.

I sure a hell hope he goes with something bigger like topo or expands on his mind control.
Lol that question about staying on earth is so ruthless. And then manta is such a dick
This page begs to be edited to Black Manta yelling "There are dozens of us! DOZENS!"
BvS UC has good editing. The cuts are mostly clean. The pacing is good. I don't know what the issues are to be honest. Snyder's movies are always edited really well.

Excited for the trailer Saturday, but please don't use that same cringe rock music.

I don't really get this meme. Aquaman is not more silly/ridiculous than most other super heroes, or at least a great number of them.
What kind of annoys me is he never needed to look all "savage" or mean to be badass he does it fine with the blond hair and gold armor

Aquaman isn't a hard character to get right IMO. He's got a great mythology, and his characters powers are somewhat endless in many ways. I don't expect them to get him right, though.

I know.
At the very least, Terio is the only screenwriter for this. Goyer didn't touch it. There is hope that it'll not have the issues of its predecessor.

TBBT has done more harm than good for the "geek/nerd" world.
Funny enough it's a show owned by WB. Says a lot really.

He wasn't alone.
Batman invents the tri...quindent
He got a bad rep for being useless that people didn't know was a joke

It's a Snyder film. It's going to be polarizing no matter what he does. He's pretty much set in his ways as a filmmaker.I know.

I don't get why Goyer always gets the blame for BvS's script. Dude co-wrote some pretty excellent comic-book films (and a couple bad ones too) and argued with Nolan that Batman shouldn't kill. In terms of themes and characterization, BvS resembles Terrio's other works more than Goyer's imo. I think Terrio is out of his element with superheroes.
Random trivia: the numeral prefix for three in both Latin and Greek is "tri" so we know the "trident"... but what about two tines, four spikes, or five prongs?
The Greek is "duo", "tetra", and "penta" and the Latin is "bi", "quad", and "quin(t)"... and in this case, Latin wins so it's: "bident", "trident", "quadrident", "quindent", etc.

the problem with characters like Aquaman and Namor is that they must be near the ocean to be seemingly interesting or powerful
it feels like they must stage the battle sequences near a pier or a port to justify an Aquaman or Namor battle sequence
these mermen characters are pegged with that limitation

They both have super strength. And they don't need to be near water at all times.
I've never understood why Aquaman is so reviled. I guess this all started because of Superfriends? He's no worse than most other superheroes.
Edit: cool poster, I like the star in the logo.
Not necessarily true aquaman is like a wonder woman who can't fly. But he can jump vast distances at great speeds.
Plus his super strength, warrior skill and god killer weapon keep him useful
New poster for the movie
Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's my new phone wallpaper.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
much like what the doctor said when I was born, prepare for disappointments
I'm hoping this is the movie that kills the current DC Cinematic Universe and forces a reboot with some color and a sense of the humor and fun found in non-gritty/edgy superhero comic books.
Of course, everyone should know this by now. It's a show for Middle America to point and laugh at intellectual types and geek culture: "they're book smart but look at how stupid and awkward they really are compared to us regular folk!"

I blame kids who grew up reading 80s-90s dark comic books and worship as if they were good on the first place.
